There was chaos on Sunday on Orobiyi Street, in the Alagbado area of Lagos State after a 22-year-old fashion designer, Lukmon Shotunde, slumped and died.

Community youths were said to have attacked one Taofeek Sodiq, who had a disagreement with the victim earlier that day. The youths were about lynching the suspect when policemen from the Alagbado division rescued him.

Punch Metro gathered that the suspect had sent his son on an errand with N500. The 10-year-old was said to have been defrauded by a man who sat in the front of Shotunde’s locked shop.

The boy’s father reportedly accused Shotunde of colluding with the fraudster, insisting on getting back the N500. Sodiq, in the heat of argument, allegedly told the deceased, “You will not live to open your shop tomorrow, if my money is not returned.”

A resident, Owolabi Daod, explained that within three hours, the victim slumped and died.

He said, “Around 10am on Sunday, a man sat in the front of Lukmon’s shop. Another man, who lives in the community, sent his 10-year-old son on an errand with N500.

“But the man in the front of Lukmon’s shop called the boy and asked him to bring the N500 that he would double it for him. The boy foolishly gave him the money and the man absconded.

“A resident, who saw the boy sitting in front of the shop, asked him what he was waiting for. It was at that point the boy knew he had been scammed.” Daod said the boy’s father, upon learning the news, confronted Shotunde and accused him of colluding with the fraudster.

The 22-year-old, who denied the allegation, reportedly asked for a description of the fraudster. He was said to have called one of his friends who fitted the boy’s description; but the boy said he was not the one.

The boy’s father reportedly resorted to threats, insisting that he must recover the money.

“The man came out with a friend and said if he didn’t get his money back, Lukmon will not live to open his shop the next day. We thought it was all over.

“Lukmon was walking back to his shop when he suddenly collapsed. We rushed him to a private hospital where he was confirmed dead,” Daod added.

Punch Metro gathered that residents trooped to the suspect’s house and dragged him out. They were said to have beaten him and were about lynching him when the matter was reported at the police station.

“The police prevented jungle justice on Sunday. A police team had to stay in the community for more than six hours,” a source said. It was learnt that the victim’s father fought off efforts by the police to recover his corpse.

One of Shotunde’s friends, Ayeni Tosin, said he was buried at his father’s residence in Ijoko, Sango, around 11pm on Sunday, Tosin who described his friend as easy-going and gentle, said he was not sick prior to the incident.

Police Public Relations Officer, SP Dolapo Badmos, said it was a case of sudden and unnatural death.

She said, “The victim’s father reported that the suspect threatened his son that he would not live to open his shop the next day. After three hours, the deceased slumped and died.

“A joint team of patrol vehicles moved to the scene to remove the body to suppress further tension, but the victim’s father resisted the action of the police on the ground that he wanted to bury his son according to Islamic rites. Investigation is ongoing.”

The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission now even has more damning evidence against former Minister of state for Defence, Musiliu Obanikoro over the air-lifting of N1.29billion of stolen state money to aid the election of Governor Ayodele Fayose of Ekiti State.

According to a report today, the anti-graft agency has now gotten hold of a video tape, showing how Obanikoro and his aides loaded a chartered aircraft with the money and how they even broke the Lagos airport security gate.

The cash was transferred through HS125-800 5N-BMT belonging to Gyro Air Limited. The former minister paid $25,000 for the air-lifting.
The first flight was filled with N724.5million cash to the extent that there was no seat for any crew member or the ex-Minister.

It was during the second flight with N494.990m that Obanikoro, his Aide-de-Camp, Lieutenant Colonel A.O Adewale, and crew member joined the trip to Akure Airport.

The Nation reported that the ex-Minister, using soldiers, had broken through the security gate at the airport in Lagos to move a bullion van to the apron of the chartered wing to off-load the cash.

The N1.29billion was part of the money stolen by the former National Security Adviser, Sambo Dasuki, from the lot voted for the buying of arms to prosecute the war against Boko Haram.

At Odewale area of Opeilu in Agbado, Ifo Local Government Area of Ogun State, a man named Kamorudeen was found dead inside a soak away pit.

According to The Nation, the 32-year-old commercial bus driver was said to have visited the toilet shortly after he had dinner around 11 pm on Thursday June 30.

Kamorudeen’s wife reportedly raised the alarm after her husband did not return from the toilet several hours later. After a thorough search all night, his body was discovered by one of his friends in the abandoned soak away pit at the back of their residence. The recovery of his body was said to have triggered a violent protest by his friends and associates, who queried why the landlord of the building did not cover the abandoned latrine pit for close to 15 years; it took the effort of the men of Agbado Police Station on the invitation of the community’s monarch, Chief Solomon Aina to douse the violence.

It was also said that Kamorudeen’s body was discovered with bodily injuries and blood, fuelling suspicion that he was probably killed and dumped inside the soak away pit.

Seems there is no end to the rift between the twin act Psquare as Paul Okoye took to the stage in a solo performance in Congo.

No one ever thought it will ever get to this stage where they will be performing individually at events, but that is the sad reality, seeing Paul perform alone in Congo for the first time ever was really painful to watch for dedicated Psquare fans see photos below:

A shocking incident has left people baffled after they watched as a wallet turned into a deadly cobra in the hands of the thief as a result of black magic. The incident happened on Monday morning in Ghana. The 27-year-old thief identified as Mdu had snatched a wallet from an alleged Sangoma’s pocket (Sangoma is a traditional healer), but shock and surprise took over people’s faces as the wallet turned to a cobra as he tried to open it.
An eyewitness revealed that Mdu tracked the alleged Sangoma who was about to board a taxi and confessed that he stole his wallet and wanted to return it.
“He stole a wallet from an old lad, people around are just saying the old man is a Sangoma but no one knows the man around. When he snatched the wallet he went behind that billboard that’s when the wallet turned into a snake.
“Now he tracked the man and found him but the problem is the old fellow is denying his wallet, he even produced a pouch like wallet as proof to show that the snake wallet wasn’t his.
“The snake is not biting him but its stuck in his hands he failed to throw it way, this is first grade black magic. “The police just come after a commotion but they ignored the case, I am not sure what he is thinking right now but if the owner denies the wallet they will have to visit a popular local sangoma to cast out the spell,” he said. A police officer who was at the scene, revealed that they can’t do anything about it but have only called the Parks and Wildlife management department.
